Description Olivier Pelerin 2008-09-16 18:47:43 UTC
Radeonhd driver starts to be mature. Latest GIT version have DRI working. Mesa 7.1 or 7.2 should be compiled for r500 driver. This would give 3d acceleration.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Actual Results:  
no support

Expected Results:  
support for radeonhd in /etc/make.conf
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-16 20:33:24 UTC
Do I infer correctly that you seek to have a radeonhd USE supported in media-libs/mesa?
Comment 2 Nils Larsson 2008-09-17 20:14:22 UTC
If you build mesa with video_cards_radeon and have recent DRM kernel modules(drm.ko and radeon.ko), building and running the radeonhd driver should work. x11-base/xorg-server, the only ebuild that really cares if you use xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd, carries the video_cards_radeonhd USE-flag.

Maybe video_cards_radeonhd(doing exactly the same as video_cards_radeon) should be added to mesa for the sake of completeness.
Comment 3 Olivier Pelerin 2008-09-19 06:36:35 UTC
Well....


I've the git version of radeonhd and I'm trying to get accelerated 3d working....

I'm using xorg-server 1.5.0 and libdrm 2.3.1.

======> It would be nice to have this radeonhd keyword taking care of what ever required to make it working.

Googling a bit it seems xorg-server need --enable-glx-tls [ I did'nt tested yet by installing manually....

Would be nice to get all this automated :-)


Comment 4 Olivier Pelerin 2008-09-19 07:27:23 UTC
mmmmh Now that I look at it again. -enable glx-tls is on in mesa and xorg... 

Still I get this glap_tls_context for any opengl based app.

Er, so basically you're trying to get the portage tree to support certain features for software that is not in the tree?

I don't see any software not in the tree in the request:
- mesa-7.1 in the tree
- mesa-7.2 in the tree
- xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.3 in the tree

The only things needed would be a video_card_radonhd USE flag in mesa and in x11-drm.
Comment 7 Olivier Pelerin 2008-10-26 19:41:07 UTC
Mucking around [strace glxinfo] I saw DRI was working as root but not at user level.

It seems like libraries path are different and suid 0 seems to get the right one.

====> I did the following:


mkdir /usr/lib/xorg/i686/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/xorg/i686/libGL.so.1 

Now I have opengl working with radeonhd. Performance are decent enough to enable opengl on KDE 4.1.

media-libs/mesa-7.2 (/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2)



----> The keyword should play with some MESA paths or links

hmm, I'm not using radeonhd but I had a problem which the above two steps (almost) solved.
I'm using mesa-7.2, xorg-server-1.5.3, xf86-video-ati-6.9.0.
I had the same symptoms, and solved the problem by linking not into /usr/lib/xorg/i686, but into /usr/lib/xorg/x86_64 (of course this is b/c I'm running 64-bit).
This leaves me thinking that there is some other bug elsewhere?  But I don't really don't know...
Comment 9 Alessandro Surace 2009-09-11 13:17:24 UTC
I had the same problem with radeon driver!
And I've solved thanks to your link but changing the var LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH before:
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="/usr/lib64/dri"
mkdir /usr/lib/xorg/x86_64
ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/xorg/x86_64/libGL.so.1
